Hello, everyone! I would like to compute the function f(x)=Trace(x^(15)) defined on an extension of degree 8 of a field of char=2, i.e. Z_2. The field of degree 8 could be defined by the polynomial x^8+x^6+x^5+x^4+1 over Z_2. I would like to write the function as a string of 0,1. Can anyone help? I would appreciate any input. P.
